Soft, discrete, and comfortable. They hug the hips with a double layer of fabric that is held together with elastic tension.

There is no need for an annoying zipper or fastening device.

Chickfly – You can Go Anywhere

Why Chickfly

It was taboo for women to wear pants for most of modern history.

It was even outlawed on the U.S. Senate floor until 1993!

The Chickfly was designed for women so that they, like men, could
attend to their needs when a traditional lavatory is unavailable.

Women, too , would like the option to pee outside without exposing butts!

Chickfly – Because Equality Matters

Who is Chickfly for?

Press

Chelsea Handler“Do you know how much I would pay for a penis that I could fly all over the place? So I didn’t have to go and sit and… squat in the woods. You’re lucky, you could just be on a hike and da da da da da, and no one would even be the wiser that you’re urinating. We can’t do that, I mean we can’t just go werrrrrr, No!”

Testimonials

A. Dawn, Prescott, AZ.

Lovin’ these pants more and more every day!

K. Shea, Covelo, California.

I’ve discovered the first flaw in your pants: potential for addiction. I’ve become completely dependent on them and at some point they’re going to wear out and I will never ever own this exact pair ever again. Campfire sparks recently burned some holes and I had a mini mortality crisis. I’m not worried about dying,

Z. Platek, Ithica, NY

Pretty much everyone as soon as they see how they work – they go apeshit for them. Seriously, my boyfriend is like “Get 10 pairs. Why would you take those off?

FAQs

Q. Do you wear underwear with Chickfly Pants?

A. Chickfly pants work with or without underwear so long as the panties are stretchy. We will recommend or sell some that work. That said, Chickfly pants work great without underwear. There is already a double layer of organic cotton and bamboo fabric that is breathable, wicking, and healthy on sensitive bits. Chickflies are fitted around the pelvis and even provide enough support for a menstrual pad.

Q. Will the pants open accidentally or expose me?

A. No. When fit correctly, Chickflies are secure. They have been distributed among many active women who have worn them for hours at a time doing sports like rock climbing, martial arts, yoga, skydiving, sailing, running, rafting, and dancing.

The double layer of fabric in the pelvic area both secures the region with elastic tension and insures that one cannot see your buttcrack during downward dog.

Q. What kind of fabric are the pants made of?

A. Chickflies are made out of 4-way stretch fabric. The first run of Chickflies are made out of organic cotton and bamboo and lycra.

Q. Are these sex pants?

A. Chickflies were invented by an outdoorsy field scientist who wanted more convenient and private opportunities to pee (like guys have). That said, they are soft, comfortable, and we hear they work great for sex too!

Q. How do they stay closed without zippers or fasteners?

A. They stay closed through elastic tension of two opposing panels that can be pulled apart.

Q. Do the straps for the onesie come with the pants?

A. You can get the pants separately or get pants with buttons and straps that convert into a onesie. The base model is the same – a yoga pant with a tall waistband that can be folded around the waist, down like a demi-mini, or up around the torso. This waistband is tall enough to reach over most women’s breasts, or seat below the breast like a beer made style. We add buttons and straps so the pants turn into a stunning onesie.

Q. Does the fly look different than regular pants and how?

A. Traditional trousers have a fly that is in the middle in front of the body, generally shaped like a penis and above the penis. The “chickfly” does not have this feature, but instead has a seam on the panty line and curving over the hip that is stretchy and pulls apart. We think it accentuates the female form.

Q. How do these pants have anything to do with equality?

A. The pant fly was invented for the privacy and hygiene needs of men. Long skirts served this purpose for women, and still do for many women, but some women like to wear pants.

It’s about being able to pee, with relative privacy, outdoors, and with comfort, convenience, and style. Sometimes it’s about safety, like for female climbers. Other times it’s about being competitive in a marathon and having to run off the track into the woods to pee.

Equality is about having the same access to the same benefits at the same time.

And this isn’t the first time the concept of pants has been associated with power. It wasn’t even legal for women to wear them on the senate floor until 1993 (wiki), and the phrases “who wears the pants in the family” or “Don’t get caught with your pants around your ankles” show the deeper implications of meaning in our society today.

Q. How can I get myself (or a friend) a pair of Chickfly pants?

A. Sign up on our mailing list and put “pre-order” in the subject line. You will be the first to know when they are ready! Help spread the word!

Q. What can I do to help Chickfly pants become available?

A. Share information about Chickfly with your friends and family to help build support so that when we “launch” on Kickstarter in a coyuple months we are successful. We are on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Q. Will I be able to avoid getting pee on my pants?

A. With Chickflies, you don’t need to drop your pants around your knees and ankles, so they are much easier to avoid peeing on. They open wide enough so that, when sitting on a toilet seat, one can sandwich them between one’s butt cheek and the toilet seat, thus freeing one’s hands for wiping and protecting one’s butt from the seat. For outdoor use, as long as women can pee outside normally, they should be able to do so with chickflies. For those that don’t, we are making a “how-to” guide. We are finding that some women can even pee standing with these pants because, once the fabric between the legs is removed, this becomes a possibility.

Fun fact: Did you know, in the Victorian era, women peed standing because they couldn’t sit on a toilet with hoop skirts? They even had undies that opened up like chickfly pants.

Q. Can I use them with my pee funnel?

A. Standing and peeing, among women, has become popular lately, as several personal urination devices (PUDs) have come on the market to help in situations like roadsides and porta-potties. Chickfly pants, too, can help in all these situations. For those that want to stand and pee, it is compatible with the funnel with the added benefit of not having to take your pants down.

Q. Do Chickflies accentuate the vulva or camel toe?

A. Chickfly pants will not camel toe (they are designed in such a way that they cannot, without a seam in the middle, but they do form to a woman’s curves because they are tight like yoga pants. They are shaped like a bikini – the fly is a triangle that over the monds pubis and it does accentuates the feminine triangle and curve of the body.

Q. Are Chickfly pants comfortable?

A. Chickfly pants are made of superbly comfortable organic cotton and bamboo, 4-way stretch fabric. They do not have a seam down the front, and are soft on sensitive bits. They do not run or chafe, even during strenuous activities. They are comfy and make a great pajama too, especially if you are in a tent and need to pee at night.

Environmental Benefits (of Peeing outdoor)

Peeing outdoors responsibly is an environmentally friendly habit. Our customers are outdoor enthusiasts that care to do right by Earth.

Peeing outdoors saves water. About 23% of indoor water is used to flush the toilet. Conserving water saves energy. About 19% of California’s energy is used to pump and treat water.

Pee has the same main ingredients as fertilizer: Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium (“N-P-K”). Peeing on gardens and landscaping fertilizes plants. Conventional fertilizer is both mined and fracked, and its production requires enormous amounts of energy – so using urine saves water, energy and prevents environmental devastation.

While urine is great for the environment when applied responsibly to natural soil, when flushed down the toilet the fertilizer in urine passes through the treatment plants and goes directly into streams and rivers, where it promotes algal growth. These “algal blooms” use up oxygen in the water, such that fish and aquatic life can’t breath and they die, creating “dead zones” in streams and rivers. That said, don’t pee in waterways, even in the summer when they are dry!

Because we believe a healthy ecosystem matters, our first model of Chickfly pants are made from organic cotton and sustainably harvested bamboo, with organic dyes.

Chickfly – Pee Part of the Solution!

Chickfly Story

As a citizen of planet Earth, I care about climate change and solutions that will provide my child with a future. Because I am a feminist and traveler, I care about meeting the needs of women and multi-cultural society. I have found that sometimes, a big impact can be made by a relatively small change in our behaviour.

For the past decade I have been a field scientist, a general contractor, and an outdoors enthusiast. I care deeply about equality and I hang out with a lot of guys in the woods. That got me thinking about how I could improve my outdoor working conditions: How to pee without needing toilet paper, and how to make a pair of pants with a fly that works for women.

Today, I have the solution to both problems. These pants work well. My best friend said they are “officially my favorite pants in the whole world.”

I see Chickfly as a way to empower women. Chickfly pants combine social liberation and environmental action. They have the power to help ease gender issues, as well as achieve greater water sustainability.

In addition to my work with Chickfly, I am in the 5th year of my first business, Village Ecosystems.
